Jack-up barge Haven Seajack 1 assembled and waiting for a weather window to go to Fair Isle according to Marine Traffic, I am guessing this will be part of the civil engineering works to determine the best location to build the Fair Isle's first Ro/Ro ferry terminal. This has been directly funded by the UK government by way of their "Levelling Up Fund" The project has been awarded approx. £27,000,000. Some people have commented about the politics of the UK government funding projects in Scotland rather than giving the money to the Scottish government. *This post is not political* It is merely to show the barge and what the reason for it is in Orkney. Fair Isle is the winner, no matter who pays for the work. *Please do not post any political comments - just be happy that the people of Fair Isle are finally going to get served by a Ro/Ro ferry instead of Lo/Lo [lift on/off] for more info see
Not real. Luminar Sky replacement test. Photo actually taken during day. You can make out the distant mountains aren’t masking the sky very well, but overall the Auto Sky replacement works pretty good for one click. The waves would also look very different under a long exposure.
The original Tappen Zee Bridge was built in 1955 where Interstate 87 flowed over north to Albany and straight on to the Canadian border towards Montreal. However by the ninety eighties it was already obsolete in design in that it was too narrow to handle the contemporary traffic flow. By the nineties negligence and the elements forced the state to spend huge amounts on money just to keep it safely repaired and there were was strong pressure to have a new bridge replaced it. Finally after literally decades of political and financial haggling the new replacement bridge shown above opened up for service with two extra lanes for traffic and considered vastly more visually pleasing in design compared to the old bridge was considered by many an eyesore and named after Governor Mario Coumo who initiated the moves to have a new bridge built while the old bridge which was dynamited and sold for scrap.
October 05, 2017. Sand mine Jaworzno Ciężkowice, Poland. The unique photo of our steam locomotive - it is a private property of "Towarzystwo Ochrony Zabytków Kolejnictwa i Organizacji Skansenów w Pyskowicach", in the sand field in Jaworzno Ciężkowice. Tat day a German group of DB Schenker company employees has paid for replacement of diesel to that steam locomotive Ty42-24 for two days of working in that sand field.
When I was in San Miguel a few years back, this otherwise charming alley was defaced with ugly graffiti. I was happy to find that, now, there are a number of artistic/more pleasant renderings and murals along the way.

New/Replacement modular building for Fair Isle Bird Observatory to replace the one which burnt down and was made in Orkney and like these was a modular building. The Modules have been built in the North of England and have been transported to Orkney by the Eemslift Ellen imo. 9671474 from Grimsby and are being hauled to temporary storage here in Orkney by Heddle Haulage.
Please see my album about the Fair Isle Bird Observatory which burned down and was made and transported from Orkney in August 2009 flic.kr/s/aHsmQM3Jb1
The other birds interested in the banksia flowers were the friarbirds; large distinctive honeyeaters. They all chose to perch on bare branches, against a cold grey sky, so this one was given the sky replacement treatment.

Here is a photo from the archives that I may have never of posted if not for the new Photoshop "sky replacement" tool. The sky in this plane photo before the sky replacement was a very boring light blue sky. My kids got me a years subscription to the online photoshop and just getting around to see what it has to offer. This is my first attempt and there are some adjustments that I still have to learn.
I feel a little "dirty" replacing a sky in one of my photos, never really done that before. In doing this it brings a lot of questions to my photo and photography in general.
Should replacing a sky even be allowed and still call it a photo or is it now more a piece if art?
In the future do I need to acknowledge that the sky was replaced in a photo or say nothing? If I take and post a photo that has an amazing sky do I need now to say that the sky was not replaced?
Is it OK to use someone else skies in your photo or just use one that you created? This is my own sky shot in this photo.
Please give me you opinion in the comments below.
Thanks and have a great Sunday!!

Replacing the leaky skylight in my wife’s Florida house. It leaked constantly during Tropical Storm Nicole.
With replacement vaders looming in the distance, this old searchlight still stands guard at S GH&H Jct. in east downtown Houston, as a late-evening MEWFO passes by on the West Belt main in this 30-second exposure.

For a bit of fun, the same photo as the previous one but with Luminar 4 sky replacement. I prefer to keep my skies original, but thought this a good one to experiment with.
After our Dolomites hike last September, we spent four nights in Venice, staying in the Cannaregio area. On our first night not far from where we were staying.
I process my photos with Lightroom as well as Skylum's Luminar and find it easy to use with great results. Here is a link if anyone is interested in trying it out and with a $US10 discount: skylum.grsm.io/janetteasche8660
Following the old IC branch west of Rantoul, IL, my friends and I were hoping to find the rare GP28 owned by the elevator here in Dewey. We were a bit surprised to see this ex CNW GP50 instead. The Co-Op still owns the GP28, which is parked in the barn with mechanical issues and from what we understand, is for sale.

Candy Executive Coaches latest acquisition is former London United SP40002. Its pictured outside Richmond Station as it heads for Barnes whilst working on South Western Railway Rail Replacement.
R2-D2 the replacement the gentleman in charge told me to the lighthouse where we could climb and view the scene. This doesn't have the same power as the original lighthouse, however, the latest GPS helps larger ships to navigate through the narrow passage.

Did you ever have one of those days... where the nose piece from your eyeglasses falls into your hand? That was how (my) last Friday started... LOL...
Well, maybe my vision is not this bad... but, without wearing my glasses, there are times when looking at things is becoming a challenge!

E64 leaves Rayners Lane behind after working rail replacement route PL4 from Gunnersbury and heads to South Mimms (SM).
Formerly Metroline TE946.
These two are pretty good. Don't eat or need heat, shots, licenses, tags and don't use litter. Don't claw furniture. They don't play either. But they fill a void for now.
The little calico came from a lady named Jane Boyle from Princeton Telecommunications in NJ and neither of us remembers where the orange ceramic tabby came from but he has piercing green eyes.

Two from Brentor church which sits on top of a tor on the edge of Dartmoor; the views are amazing. The benches had seen better days and both had the same sign attached to them.
These benches are a necessity after a hard climb up to the church.
HBM!
The first power from the start up that WC tried to replace was the 17 ex Soo GP30's. The 1948 Alco FA trucks they rode on were a pain and the group had never been rebuilt and there was some concern about "crispy" wiring in the electrical cabinets. Only three of the group received the full WC paint scheme which was a shame because they looked damn good in it. 713 leads one of its would be replacements on an X35 at Gould City. Most of these units were retired as the GP40's came on board but due to a nearly chronic power shortage a number of them were soon back in service. Five of them managed to stay in service until 2000 and IIRC three actually operated for a few weeks after the CN take over. 713 was one of the last to go. This was shot in December 1990 and at the time I'd already made peace with the fact I wasn't going to have many more GP30 opportunities...wrong again😊. It is Thirty Thursday, a rescan.
Playing around with Photoshop sky replacement feature (including some tonal adjustments and color-grading to work better with the stormy sky)
I still occasionally stop by this group of abandoned houses for a shot or two. On this day, I was interested in windows.
Another from yesterday! :)
New lens!! Leica Thambar-M 90mm f/2.2 - youtu.be/KkSXB7NQXe4
Great day in London yesterday. I finally got chance to send my Leica M240 back to Germany for rangefinder recalibration so this is shot with a replacement black M240 body (so much better when it works!!) ha
Met up with Charli for a few photos

I have passed this corner ever since I moved into the neighborhood and there was an old bench there which I also have posted... But when I went to the store the other day there was a new one there.. So glad because I didn't think that old bench would even hold a grown up anymore... Happy Bench Monday, Everybody!!!!
